The Phillies are in a slump, losing all three series since the All-Star break, as their top hitters—Schwarber, Harper, and Marsh—struggle to produce. Despite Schwarber still leading the league in homers, he’s hit poorly against righties this month, though recent games against the Yankees showed promising signs: four hits, two walks, and two starts against righties. Hitting coach Kevin Long says Schwarber’s grinding approach is working, and his performance is vital for the team’s success. When those stars get on base, the Phillies win; with Turner heating up and others chipping in, the offense could explode if Schwarber finds his rhythm. He’s focused on being selective and aggressive, and the coach is seeing improvement. The team’s overall offense has been inconsistent, with low-scoring games and poor base-running, making their current slump even more painful.
